How it works

PATTERN DETAILS

These cute chicks are freestanding and quick to knit. Change the yarn weight to change their size, tension/ gauge is not an issue!
BASIC SKILLS NECESSARY
knit
purl
increase
decrease
cast on
bind off
GAUGE
Will vary depending on your choice of yarn. I suggest you use needles approximately 2 sizes smaller than suggested by the yarn company so that the toy stuffing does not show through your finished fabric.

Pattern Designer

I have a passion for designing knitwear for babies and children, I then write up the designs as patterns to share with other knitters. Inspiration comes from the countryside near where I live and my own children. However, the knitwear design has to come second to my part time job, the household chores and one of my high maintenance cats, Basil!
